I don't know why they think we're the same
They link it up but I know I'll switch lanes
If you have looked at this little blog more than once or twice in the last two years (thank you), then at some stage it would have been blatantly obvious that Tkay Maidza would be appearing in this countdown at some stage, which brings us to her (first – don't tell anyone I told you) appearance at number forty. It seems like forever ago that Matt told me I needed to stomp my feet like a Brontosaurus, and while that was actually only two and a half years ago, Tkay has made a very impressive impact in that short time. 'Switch Lanes' was a more subdued adventure than her other singles, but it showcased more than Tkay's extraordinary rapping skills; with each chorus we were treated to her gorgeous singing voice and combined with those steel drums she had herself a faultless track which only added to what has become an (almost) obsessive couple of blogging fans.

It was the opening lyrics of 'Bones' that got me first. Those words that drew the breath from my lungs and held me down, demanding I listen, demanding I pay attention. The beats kept me entranced, wandering gently through the sounds but then those words pulled me back to the floor. The keys held on to my heart, all of me wanting to curl up within the notes, but then those words again, reminding me of where I was and where I am. The subtle guitars like fingertips through my hair kept me comfortable until they were there again; those words, whispering in my ears, begging to be heard, reaching straight into my life, making me wonder what ever had happened then and what was happening now. Whatever did happen doesn't matter anymore, because with every listen of 'Bones' to comfort and embrace, sometimes Little May's music is all you need to make everything ok. (Jo Michelmore)

by Kanye West
I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
You either love or hate Kanye West. It doesn't seem like there's room for much in-between. I like to separate Kanye West the artist from Kanye West the person. As a music maker I love everything about him. As a person? Meh. When 'Runaway' was released, all the way back in 2010 (!), my automatic response when asked if I liked Yeezy was something along the lines of, "he's a wanker, but he makes excellent music." Obviously he's still a bit of wanker, but the older I get the funnier I find Mr. West. You can always count on him for a post-awards show rant, the next great ego-maniacal quote and a cameo appearance on that Kardashian show. More important than that, you can always count on Kanye to release truly fascinating music. 'Runaway' was just one of many masterpieces on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. You can guarantee he'll have tracks to match it on his upcoming seventh studio album. (Matt Bond)
by Chvrches
And take what you need
And you don't need me
Here's a confession: I have been one of those crazy people in another car that you stare at while sitting at traffic lights. I have been one of those people who sit behind you in shopping centre car parks while you crane your neck around trying to figure out where those (incredibly catchy) beats are coming from. I have been the person you look in your rear view mirror at, trying to figure out who I'm talking to in my empty car. Yes, I am one of those people you look at while I tap the steering wheel, nod my head and every now and then throw a hand in the air (I have a sedan, not a convertible, so throwing an arm can be a little more difficult. I have always done all of these things, but never more than since the very first day I hear Chrvches. And I think all of those things are indication enough of what I think of 'Recover'. (Jo Michelmore)
by Adele
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
It's bringing me out the dark
Has anything been better in music over the past five years than Adele's meteoric rise to the top? The ultimate triumph of substance over style began with the release of 'Rolling In The Deep', which annihilated all that stood in its way, fending off LMFAO, Katy Perry and The Black Eyed Peas to end 2011 with the biggest song of the year on the Billboard Hot 100. At the Grammy Awards it would walk away with Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Its parent album, 21 would take away a bajillion other honours and Adele would become arguably the biggest artist in music. What was it that had the whole world going crazy for Adele? Maybe it was her phenomenal voice. Maybe it was her carefree attitude, not giving a damn what the world thought about her. Or maybe we all just needed a good 'fuck-you' song, because it only takes those opening lines to get you putting those middle fingers up to anyone that's ever taken you for granted. Let's go with a combination of all of those things. (Matt Bond)
by Texas Tea
I love you like I love this black eye
I love you like I love it when we fight
After one of the many Texas Tea gigs I've had the pleasure of attending, my sister and I were talking about how Kate Jacobson and Ben Dougherty were the greatest and Sam (the sister) was all like, "I don't know how they can look at each other while singing that song." The song in question was 'I Love You Like I Love This Black Eye' and I had to agree. It's always been a live highlight with Kate and Ben alone on the stage, staring at each other and presenting both sides of a relationship ruined by domestic violence and the lengths one can go to if they want to survive. It's heartbreaking, unlike anything I've heard before and how they sing it to each other with such conviction is a testament to just how good Texas Kate and Texas Ben are as performers. I'm listening to this three years after the release of Sad Summer Hits (and album you must listen to) and it still gives me chills. (Matt Bond)
by MTNS
I screamed out loud again
But you weren't there to hear my call
When I first heard MTNS get some airplay on JJJ I got that little "yippee!" feeling in my stomach like you do when your favourite artists get airplay. Oh, is that only me? Um, I guess it's like when your favourite team plays good games in the footballs, or something like that…I think? Shut up, I like music more than football. For a little while there in 2013, it seemed like everywhere I turned I heard the sweet, sweet sounds of MTNS. Maybe it was because for a little while there I was totally obsessed with those sweet, sweet sounds of these boys from Brisbane. I kept seeing them at gigs, I kept hearing them on playlists and I think I saw one of them on the street once. That was a good day. Better than the day your favourite team won the football game. Maybe. (Jo Michelmore)

Taking steps toward your door
I hadn't let myself before
What have Little May got coming up on their schedule? Let's see... next month they're heading off overseas to the UK, Ireland and France before making their way to the USA in June, which includes a festival performance at Bonnaroo. After a short break they return to the UK for Reading and Leeds. Then it's back to Ireland for Electric Picnic. There's also a debut album to be released at some stage and if no one has put the ladies forward as support for Fleetwood Mac's Australian tour, can I? As someone with the power to do that, which I am not, I think they'd be the perfect fit. You may have noticed I've said very little about 'Hide' and why it's one of our favourite songs of the past five years. If you've paid attention to this blog over the past five years (thanks, we love you) then I wouldn't have to since I spent like a year or three obsessing over those perfect Little May harmonies, the faultless lead performance from Liz Drummond, the totally gorgeous music that holds you under a spell and the impeccable storytelling prowess of Drummond, Hannah Field and Annie Hamilton. The fire that started in my heart the first time I heard 'Hide' burns just as bright as ever. We couldn't wait to see where Little May's journey would take them and it's taking them to all the places we hoped (and kinda knew) it would. True talent can't be kept down and Little May continue to succeed as only the very best music makers can. We couldn't be happier for them. (Matt Bond)

by The xx
And the end is unknown
But I think that I'm ready
As long as you're with me
It's all trendy to utilise sparse beats and be all hip with the production duties to impress the kids these days. Really though, that's all because of The xx. Only youngsters themselves, the band would take out the Mercury Music Prize with their debut, xx and win over the world with the follow-up, Coexist. It's the latter that was home to 'Angels', easily one of the finest, chilled out numbers to be released in, well, ever. Original review time because, as you already know, I've gotten worse at the whole writing thing as the years go on. Jks, I'm awesome. "Has there ever been a song so immediately calming as 'Angels'? It disarms you with the opening guitar lines, before Romy Madley Croft and her siren call beckons you to follow her into a world so full of love, you'd think there was nothing else to feel. I'm left feeling like it's all a little too good to be true. Is she expressing a true, deep love that she just can't find the words to describe? Or is she doing her best to convince herself and you, the listener that what she feels is right. "If someone believed me, they would be as in love with you as I am," leaves so many questions in my mind. The way she repeats 'love' throughout makes me wonder... if she says it enough, does it make it true? It's this back and forth, is it real or isn't it that keeps me coming back for more. I'll jump between both views, my love for The xx and 'Angels' never diminishing." (Matt Bond)
by Kira Puru and the Bruise
Leave me to bleed
Tell me what to do
With my heart
I'm going to sound like a crazy person, but I'm almost a little bit ashamed when I hear the opening notes of 'When All Your Love Is Not Enough', because I still can't quite figure out how Kira and her Bruise pals are not more of a well-known name, in this country, in my city, I'd even be happy if someone in my neighbourhood knew who she was. That voice is indescribable, if the emotion could be harnessed to treat broken hearts then bars and bottle shops across the world might go out of business, but Kira Puru would be famous and that would make me happy. Except I'd still like a beverage every now and then. Guess you can't have everything. So what if I sound like a crazy person? It's true. Kira should be well-known and it only takes one listen to figure that out. Two listens and you'll be hooked. Three listens and your neighbourhood will know who she is too, and that is just the beginning. (Jo Michelmore)
If they've been this good so far, can you even imagine the rest? You don't have to, because we'll be back soon with thirty more amazing songs...

text: Guest Elaine Report post Posted September 5, 2017 At our last meeting, a motion was made to pay $2,000 for a piece of equipment; the motion passed. The chair later asked me if the motion could be amended during that same meeting to pay more for the equipment (a question from the floor). I advise the chair that we could not amend the motion at that meeting and we would have to wait until next month. Could we have amended the motion at the meeting? What rule should I have used to support the right decision? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's face it, most Science Fiction and Fantasy is written for an older audience. Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and others (while great work) are geared towards children who are fine with sitting down to a 900 page book. The problem is even compounded by lack of interest on the part of the child and other issues such as AD/HD.
According to the CDC:
Number of children 3-17 years of age ever diagnosed with ADHD: 5.2 million
Percent of children 3-17 years of age ever diagnosed with ADHD: 8.4%
Percent of boys 3-17 years of age ever diagnosed with ADHD: 12.0%
Percent of girls 3-17 years of age ever diagnosed with ADHD 4.7%
I did a search for Science Fiction for Struggling Readers and came up with nothing but non-fiction. Joan Brennan has a dedicated blog for this very topic. She had better luck and came up with about 5 books for struggling readers in both Science Fiction and Fantasy. You can read her list here:
We simply have to do better for these kids. Mass media would have us believe that we have to produce encyclopedic works of fun Science Fiction not just for kids who can't sit still but for those with flights of fancy in their veins.
A Steampunk Science Fiction Book Series Is Born
I remember sitting in my favorite chair after having this very same discussion with my wife who is a librarian. She had mentioned that she has trouble finding good Science Fiction for kids who struggled not just with comprehension but suffered from a lacking interest in reading. After two hours of scribbling ideas down on proverbial paper, my 10-year-old daughter came down and simply said, "Daddy, why don't you write a story about two kids who rescue their dad on another planet?" Now all of us were involved in the effort. Additionally, it wasn't enough for me to create a setting in a genre that is popular at the time. I wanted something new and different. It had to be Steampunk.
What is Steampunk?
Steampunk is a sub-genre of Science Fiction where events during the industrial revolution were slightly altered. Electricity was never invented and everything runs on steam. Highly-advanced futuristic machinery such as steam-powered robots or flying machines are commonplace so you have a mixture of both past and future in one setting.
The Jupiter Chronicles: Steampunk Science Fiction
I wrote The Jupiter Chronicles to help satisfy the need for short Science Fiction works that are good for beginner readers and struggling readers. After the book released it was then time to experiment. One of the fun tools we employed to get kids reading was Readers' Theater at my wife's school. They sure had a blast. We also talked about writing ideas down for a story and creating interesting characters. And yes, there were plenty of special effects. After I left, I learned that kids who normally aren't interested in reading came in to the library begging for the book. The experiment worked. Kids with a low attention span have been reading The Jupiter Chronicles and wanting more. As an author, that's all I can ask for.
What do you love about Science Fiction books?

But planning is good, or so I've been told. Lots of people have said so,
He who fails to plan, plans to fail.
If you don't have a plan for yourself, you'll be part of someone else's.
Here's the thing. I've come to realize that I list so I don't have to actually DO
the things on the list. I get to feel like I'm doing something important without DOING anything. It's like spending all of your time on duotrope.com (LOVE you guys) without submitting anything to anyone. Sadly, that is procrastination.
Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
And my favorite,
Procrastination is like Masturbation; in the end you're just screwing yourself.
I will try harder, be stronger and stop procrastinating. This blog will help me do that. I am

In High Demand for providing unmatched quality in Modern Graphic Design and Professional Printing Australia Wide
We all judge a book by it's cover, we do, I do, guilty, so when we stumble upon a flyer, brochure, business card or any other means of print of another business the first thing we naturally judge is the thickness of the print stock, the colours within the print itself and the content being driven visually. For example, thin business cards, nobody likes a business card to feel like tissue paper, for many reasons besides the initial touch and feel of the card. Thick business cards leave an unnoticed, subtle and subconscious lasting impression on your target market, this applies similarly to flyers, brochures and other print collateral, with quality always leaving a lasting impression that tells your customers you are professional. While $10 business cards created fast on a pre-made template may seem convenient, affordable and easy – you may be heading in a direction you want to avoid, and that's portraying an unprofessional image of your business. Don't have the time? Allow TAYLRD to manage your print collateral for you, from concept – design – print – delivery.

Core77 is proud to announce "Sustainable Refrainables," our second Design Arena Community Challenge in association with the San Francisco chapter of AIGA to support their fourth biennial Compostmodern conference.
"Sustainable Refrainables" is a poster design competition celebrating words of persuasion. We're inviting designers to share those mantric phrases they find most powerful in communicating positive action. Maybe the phrase is something as simple as "I never use the word 'sustainability.'" or "The first rule is listen. The second rule is to ignore what you heard and do it better." or "There is no silver bullet, just silver buckshot."
Whatever your magic phrase, design it up in poster form, upload it to the competition site, and comment on your favorites. We're looking for your most graphic, persuasive quotables!
There's five prizes to be won: Jury Prize Winner $500 and a copy of Adobe's Creative Suite 5 Master Collection.
Popular Vote Winner $500 and a copy of Adobe's Creative Suite 5 Master Collection.
Three Runners Up Each receive a copy of Adobe's Creative Suite 5 Master Collection.

Brisbane Roar fans had accepted the inevitability of Besart Berisha leaving the club at the end of the current season. He had been a loyal servant for three years, scored more goals than anyone else for the club and become a fan favourite for his fiery style of play. He scored both goals in the 2012 Grand Final, including the decisive penalty (something that the Glory fans should really let go already) and gave his all in every game.
But on January 22, in the space of an hour and a half, he went from hero to villain. An email to Roar fans confirmed that he was leaving to chase a different challenge, most assumed that he would go overseas as he had, up until that stage been a loyal servant of the Roar. Before long Twitter was ablaze with reports that he had followed the well-worn path from the Roar to the Melbourne Victory. It hurt fans and there were some vitriolic reactions to the defection, it served as a harsh reminder that football is still a business. While there is plenty of time to speculate over how he will go down south, the big question for 2014 was whether or not Berisha would still be able to give his all for the final six months of his Roar deal.
Nearly every adult would have found themselves in a position where they were ready to move on to bigger and better things. Be it the end of year 12 in school before becoming a grown up or just moving on from one job to another. As such, it is only natural to wonder if Berisha�s head has been elsewhere since that announcement. For someone whose game depends so much on emotion, there have been legitimate questions over whether or not he would be as invested in the Roar�s title challenge. As the team has struggled in that time, Berisha�s occasional half-hearted efforts have made him the obvious target of the fans� frustrations but in reality, he is not the only player to be playing below par.
Most of the criticisms surround Berisha dropping deeper into the midfield to pick up the ball and run at defenders. His greatest success is as a poacher who lingers on or around the last defender and receives great service from players like Thomas Broich. Whether it is a coaching decision or just Berisha looking to prove himself, it has resulted in several attacks breaking down as Berisha has been out of position at key moments. Combine that with half-hearted efforts to bring himself back into play after making a run and the questions about his performances have been warranted.
It would take a big decision from Mulvey to drop his prolific striker from the side, but as the team has proven so far this season, they are more than capable of winning without him. Having missed games through injury and suspension this year, the Roar�s machine has continued to click including a resounding 5-2 thumping of Sydney in December. With players such as Dimitri Petratos, Broich and Berisha�s predecessor Jean-Carlos Solorzano waiting in the wings, Berisha can be given a gentle reminder that if he does not perform, there are plenty of other players willing to do his job for him and that the team is much more important than any one player.

Small buses work best because they can pick up a few people at a time and drop them off at a locations that are next to each other.
On the last three comments:
Yes, the geometry problem is solved as long as you're in a suburban place where there's lots of space. And I agree, as I said, that the 'direct to destination' goal is probably possible with automation in lower density places, where you have room for all the small vehicles.
And I would not react to Musk's "direct to destination" language this way if I were not hearing the same confusion over and over in my work as a transit consultant, and seeing how actual useful transit systems are dying from the apathy — if not hostility — that this kind of tech PR is engendering.
The larger problem on display here, in Musk's text and in the last few comments, is the assumption that the suburban or small-town experience — "Overland Park, Kansas" in one commenter's phrase — is the normal point of view. Because the "direct to destination" fantasy is doing tremendous harm to the ability of DENSE communities — places that are already dense or want to be denser — to have a clear conversation about what kind of transit they will need, and what kind of urban planning they need to do to get there.
Musk may have exaggerated in this passage. Surely the clumsy middle sentence in the paragraph I quote suggests he doesn't subject his work to editors. But it's still fair game, because lots of people are exaggerating in the same direction, and doing the damage I describe.
Jarrett, I just did a radio interview on rapid transit's potential in Halifax, and a phone-in question was whether we should bother investing in fixed route service because of potential technology like automated vanpools. So even as a part-time advocate, I've come upon arguments against potential transit investment – in places that are underserved but could support good quality fixed routes.
You mention "seeing how actual useful transit systems are dying from the apathy — if not hostility — that this kind of tech PR is engendering." Can you give some specific examples?
I live in the Bay Area and from what I can tell, there is overwhelming support for multiple BART extensions, Caltrain electrification, a new muni line, and to some extent BRT throughout the bay (though people never seem to get excited about busses). I hear people praise Uber all the time and even hope for a self-driving golden age, but it seems orthogonal to people's support for transit improvement.
Improved mass transit for the S.F. Bay area ? Yes, rail and bus upgrades and extensions are welcome.
Good research begins well before the first experiment starts.

The previous investigators had seen the damage and destruction dealt to the aircrafts, and advised more armor being added to the most damaged areas, to increase their protection. Specific parts were shot and torn up, so new armor was added.
Yet the survivability rate didn't increase. In fact, it decreased, as the new armor added weight and reduced the agility of the planes, and they still arrived back with damage in the same areas. Wald observed all of this and advised that the airforce start adding armor only to the untouched areas – the parts without a trace of damage. He reasoned that the only data about survivability was coming from the surviving planes themselves; the ones that came back with damage showed exactly where the non-lethal blows could be dealt.
With the advice taken onboard, the survivability increased and the rest is, well, history . While this makes for a great example of lateral thinking, it also tells us something critical about data collection – that of selection bias.
Selection bias is an experimental error that occurs when the participant pool, or the subsequent data, is not representative of the target population.
There are several types of selection bias, and most can be prevented before the results are delivered. Although there might not always be an entire airforce on the line when it comes to getting it right, it's still essential for good research.
Let's go through some examples, and explore what can be done to stop this bias occurring before the first data point is even collected.
There are several aspects of sampling bias, all of which ultimately mean that the population being studied does not provide the data that we require to make conclusions.
A common example of this happening in practice is through
. Specific groups of people may be drawn to taking part in a particular study
because of self-selecting characteristics
. It is known that individuals who are inclined to

, or Boohoo All Over Sequin Long Line Midi Skirt Cheap Sale Visit New g8ajmTj
are more likely to take part in certain studies, which could skew data from a study if it is examining those personality traits (and possibly within other studies too).
An hour's drive northeast of Denver, the Rocky Mountains fade into the background like a distant memory. The crisp, snow-capped peaks are replaced by rolling cow pastures.
In the middle of that farmland is Weld County, Colorado. In the middle of Weld County is Greeley. The unassuming little town has a population of little more than 100,000 people. It exists by the grace of farming and manufacturing. It is safe to say that Greeley is not what most people would consider a tourist destination … unless you're a craft beer enthusiast.
Greeley is also home to, by some accounts, one of the best breweries in the United States right now— WeldWerks Brewing Company .
If you've never heard of WeldWerks Brewing, here is an abridged history: In 2008, Neil Fisher moved from North Carolina to Greeley. In 2010, he started homebrewing in his garage, where he met Colin Jones and a host of other guys who would come over to help brew, but mostly drink and watch sports. In 2015, after some noteworthy accolades in homebrewing competitions, Fisher and Jones opened WeldWerks. Three years later, they're shaping the craft brewing landscape.
"We want to be that brewery that's taking our industry, not just in Colorado, but in the country, to the next place," Fisher, co-founder and head brewer, said of their focus on the future and pushing the limits on styles. "I think what's next is, what can we bring you guys that's new and different and innovative?"
For this reason, it's hard to pinpoint if WeldWerks has a flagship beer. Their hefeweizen is the only beer left from their original lineup—and only as a show of respect because it won a silver medal at the
Le Temps des Cerises Womens FMALORIE00000ML Cardigan 2018 New Outlet Popular Fast Delivery Online gHa6jfHR8x
, noted Fisher.
Beyond that, the GABF gold-winning Medianoche barrel-aged stout and the fan-favorite Juicy Bits New England-style IPA have dedicated tanks. Everything else is a rotation, seasonal, or a one-off. In fact, to keep pushing the limits on style, Fisher and company have an ambitious plan to brew 100 new recipes in 2018.
"Brand new beers we've never released—hitting the market, hitting the taproom. That's in addition to the other stuff we're going to keep bringing in, like Juicy Bits and all the variants we've released in the past."
Think about the magnitude of that plan for just a moment. Fisher estimated that this means in 2018 they will brew between 400 and 600 beers. For this, they moved 100 percent of their operations back to the Greeley facility—they were contract brewing some of their year-rounds, like the hefeweizen, at Sleeping Giant in Denver—and significantly increased their in-house production capacity.

Limin Chen
University of Toronto, Canada
Title: Novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of interferon resistance of hepatitis C and B viruses based on gene expression profiling
Dr. Limin Chen, a professor with the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) and Peking Union Medical College (PUMC)and also an affiliated scientist with the University of Toronto, now is the director and chief scientific officer of the center for transfusion transmitted diseases, Institute of Blood Transfusion (IBT), CAMS/PUMC, Member of the American Association for Studies of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and Canadian Association for Studies of Liver (CASL). He obtained his MD, MSc in biochemistry and molecular biology in China, PhD in molecular genetics at the University of Toronto. Dr. Chen obtained his postdoctoral training both at the Merck Research Laboratories and at the Harvard Medical School . Currently Dr. Chen's research focuses on the virus-host interaction of the hepatitis viruses, especially HCV. He pioneered the work on identification of the response signature and proposed a novel mechanism on how HCV exploits host innate immune response to benefit its persistent infection and resistance to interferon-based therapy.
Hepatitis viruses, including Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infect human liver leading to chronic infections that gradually develop into cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Current treatment regimen includes interferon and nucleotide analogues (NAs). Although direct acting anti-viral agents (DAAs) clear the virus in more than 95% individuals chronically infected with HCV, pegylated interferon is still widely used in many asia countries. Unfortunately, not all patients chronically infected with HCV respond to pegylated interferon/ribavirin combination therapy. As such, understanding the molecular mechanisms of interferon resistance of HCV and HBV is essential for better management of patients. Based on gene expresion profiling, we identified an 18-gene response signature that can be used to predict whether a given patients will respond to interterferon-based therapy with an accuracy of 96%. A novel ubiquitin-like ISG15/USP18 signaling pathway was also identifed to be involved in interferon resistance in both HCV and HBV infections. A series of functional studies onISG15 and USP18 genes revealed the detailed molecualr mechanisms of interferon resistance of HBV and HCV. Data from our studies indicated that ISG15(and ISG15 conjugation-the process called ISGylation) stimulated HCV replication and potentiated the interferon anti-HCV activity. Silencing of USP18 boosts the antiviral activity of interferon against hepatitis C virus infection through activation of the Jak/STAT signaling in vitro HCV culture (HCVcc) model.

Clashes between the supporters of the two rival factions of INTTUC, on the authority of recruiting contractual worker in Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP) continued on Monday as well. Supporters of both "Durgapur Steel Plant Thika Mazdoor Congress" and "Durgapur Steel Plant Thika Mazdoor Union", the two union of INTTUC clashed with each other at the Main Gate of Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP). State Police and CISF unit of DSP intervened and removed the supporters of both the unions.
Monday's clash outside the Main Gate of DSP was however a continuation of the conflict which started on Sunday at Amrai village of Durgapur, 2 Km from DSP's Main Gate. During Sunday's clash between the supporters of the two factions of INTTUC, six persons and three policemen were injured.
Presently there are two unions of INTTUC in DSP, for the contractual workers of the plant. The older one is the Durgapur Steel Plant Thika Mazdoor Congress, led by district INTTUC secretary Mr. Probhat Chatterjee, which got affiliation on 14th May 2010 from the contemporary state secretary of INTTUC Purnendu Bose. The second one is the Durgapur Steel Plant Thika Mazdoor Union, which was given affiliation on 17th August 2012, by Pradip Bandopadhyay, who was the all India general secretary of INTTUC at that time.
Durgapur Steel Plant Thika Mazdoor Congress had been regulating the absorption and retrenchment of contractual workers at SAIL's Durgapur Steel Plant since the past three years after Trinamool Congress came into power in Bengal.
However, on 22 May, at a large gathering in front of Main Gate of DSP, the Central Committee leadership of the INTTUC led by its chairman, Mr. Sobhondeb Chatterjee, declared Durgapur Steel Plant Thika Mazdoor Congress as 'unofficial', and "Durgapur Steel Plant Thika Mazdoor Union" was given the "official" status of INTTUC's unit in DSP with Mr. Nirod Biswas as its secretary.
Mr. Probhat Chatterjee, belonging to the INTTUC faction of Dola Sen, Purnendu Bose however didn't accepted the declaration by INTTUC chairman, Mr. Sobhondeb Chatterjee, in which the affiliation of Thika Mazdoor Congress was not renewed and was declared "unofficial".
Muscle flexing by the supporters of both the factions started immediately after affiliation of Durgapur Steel Plant Thika Mazdoor Congress was not renewed and Durgapur Steel Plant Thika Mazdoor Union was made the "official" union of INTTUC for the contractual workers of DSP.
Sensing trouble, the DSP authority on Monday informed state police and even directed the CISF unit to control the situation, so that violence does not enters the plant premises and disrupts the environment within the plant. Both state police and CISF successfully dispersed the mob that gathered inside and outside the main gate of DSP.
However, INTTUC sources revealed that in near future chances of more such clashes are very much on the cards as both the factions are determined to establish their supremacy and regulate the recruitment of contractual labor in DSP.

With Halloween just around the corner, we have a special treat for all of you (since we're not really tricksters around here...or are we?). Today we have a very special playlist for Trisha Leaver's YA Psychological Horror, CREED, releasing November 8th, 2014! Without further ado, I'll Trisha to tell you more!
CREED is the story of tree teens—Dee, Luke, and Mike—who accidentally find themselves stranded in town run by charismatic leader, Elijah Hawkins. It chronicles their three day long struggle to free themselves, not only physically but mentally, from Elijah's control. The playlist below speaks to the desperation, fear, and hope that kept them alive, fighting for a way out as opposed to blindly accepting their fate.
The "official" Creed Blurb:
Three of us went in
Three of us came out
None of us a shadow of who we once were.
When their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Dee, her boyfriend Luke, and Luke's brother, Mike, seek help in the nearby town of Purity Springs. But as they walk the vacant streets, the teens make some disturbing discoveries. The seemingly deserted homes each contain a sinister book with violent instructions on disciplining children. The graveyard is full of unmarked crosses. Worst of all, there's no way to contact the outside world.
When Purity Springs' inhabitants suddenly appear, Dee, Luke, and Mike find themselves at the mercy of Elijah Hawkins, the town's charismatic leader who has his own plans for the three of them. Their only hope for survival is Elijah's enigmatic son, Joseph. And his game may be just as deadly as his father's . . .
Black Roses – Clare Bowen This is Joseph's and Dee's song. It speaks to broken promises and hollow words. It is dark and desperate and reflects to the anger Dee will carry around with her for the rest of her life.
Don't Give Up – Peter Gabriel In way, this song represents Dee's entire life. The internal demons that she can never seem to escape and her daily struggle to overcome her past and gain control of her future.
Make This Place Your Home – Phillip Phillips. "Settle down and it will all become clear." This one line encapsulates Elijah Hawkins relationship with Dee. The idea that he knows what's best and that he, singlehandedly, is capable of erasing her past.
Skyfall – Adele Luke and Dee's relationship was one of the main focal points of this book. It's what keeps Dee sane while simultaneously destroying any sense of peace and security she's managed to achieve. This song…this line: "Where you go I go? I know I'd never be me without the security of your loving arms" defines them in every possible way.
Fix you – Coldplay Ahh … this song. So perfect on so many levels. When I would get stuck in a scene or couldn't quite nail down the right emotions, I would play this song on repeat. The idea of lights guiding you home, of loving someone then having it got waste… it's all just so perfect.
Song for Someone – U2 Dee's song…Dee's mantra. Her desire, her need to scream her story from the hills while knowing no one will hear her, no one will believe her.
Jar of Hearts – Christina Perri To me, this song represents Dee going forward, what happens the next day and the day after that. The way Dee now approaches life, the way she feels about Elijah Hawkins and his son, Joseph. She may be a shadow of who she once was, but in the end she won…beat them at their own game.
Trisha Leaver is the co-author of the YA, Psychological Horror, CREED, releasing November 8th, 2014 with Flux/ Llewellyn. Her solo YA Contemporary, THE SECRETS WE KEEP, release April 28, 2015 with FSG/ Macmillan. Find out more at:

We know that fourth grade is a time of growth and change. Students want support from peers rather than adults; expect their environment to be fair, honest, and just; seek independence; are highly active; can empathize and see perspectives; can think independently and critically; are influenced by peer standards; and need help building confidence.
We help our fourth graders learn and practice: actively engaging and sharing to understand perspectives and experiences of others; problem solving in various settings; mindful self-monitoring; using evidence to support ideas; working collaboratively on an academic goal; making connections between themselves and classroom content in order to assess decision making and outcomes; and building awareness of their strengths and weaknesses for self-empowerment.
Our goals for fourth graders
Deepen their understanding of the writing process in various genres for many audiences and to engage their reader through more developed voice, word choice, and structure.
Explore California history with focus on developing awareness and understanding various perspectives of events and human experience.
Apply operations to various types of problems, review and practice new skills, deepen number sense, and explore and analyze the relationships and connections between various concepts through mathematical reflections.
Investigate, gather, and reflect on content across integrated subject areas and develop higher level comprehension and thinking skills while questioning, discussing, and responding to larger themes.
Cultivate problem solving and critical thinking skills, use observations to predict outcomes, and apply scientific knowledge to new situations while asking questions to test ideas within the structure of an experiment.
Build vocabulary with an emphasis on adjectives and descriptive language, produce skits with greater complexity and grammatical structures, and express themselves with more authentic writing.
Gain exposure to a wide variety of perspectives in literature, deepening the idea of literature as both windows and mirrors, and practice information literacy, media literacy, and digital citizenship skills.
Mature locomotor, non-locomotor, and specific manipulative skills (throwing, catching, striking); refine sport skills through individual, partner, and group activities; and take more of a leadership role in demonstrating teamwork, cooperation, sportsmanship, and fair play.
Expand singing and soprano recorder abilities, perform more complex ensemble music and intricate dance numbers, be responsible for harmony parts in combined choir music, and analyze classical music at a deeper level.
Work independently through the process of art making, challenging themselves artistically and driving the process based on their artistic knowledge and interests.
Learn to follow the Design Thinking iterative process and use HTML code to create web pages that incorporate text, links, images, colors, and other formatting features.

Microsoft is slated to officially announce Windows Mobile 6.5 and its associated Windows Phones tomorrow, but apparently AT&T couldn't wait that long.
AT&T has now officially announced the availability of the HTC PURE and HTC Tilt 2 Windows Phones. Both the PURE and the Tilt 2 feature an enhanced TouchFLO 3D interface, with the Tilt 2 also offering up a large QWERTY keyboard. In addition, the Tilt 2 features a 3.6-inch widescreen WVGA display–which can be tilted–dual speakers and dual microphones with advanced noise cancellation, and a 3.2 megapixel camera. As for the HTC PURE, it features a 3.2-inch WVGA screen, a five megapixel auto-focus camera with video capture, gravity sensor, ambient light sensor, and more.
The HTC PURE is available for $149.99 and the HTC Tilt 2 is expected to be available in the following weeks for $299.99.
I have the HTC PURE in my possession currently but I'm only allowed to comment on the device itself, since Windows Mobile 6.5 is still under wraps until tomorrow.
That said, the device is very sleek. It is noticeably marked with both an HTC and AT&T logo, but otherwise the device is sleek in both feel and looks.
It's a shiny black, which definitely attracts a lot of finger prints, but it's worth it when you see it in person. Call quality is great, too, and the 5 megapixel camera does an amazing job, when compared to other phones with cameras.
When I first played with the Diamond2 I dubbed it a fantastic iPhone replacement if you wanted to stick with Windows Mobile. This latest version continues to emphasize that point, now adding AT&T's 3G to the mix.
You can also check out our video of the Diamond2 below to get a better idea of what the PURE is all about, since the HTC PURE is just a U.S.-based version of the Diamond2.
Stay tuned for more about the software that powers the HTC PURE, once the embargo on Windows Mobile 6.5 lifts.

Anton Yelchin, RIP
|Anton Yelchin, me, and director Jeremy Saulnier during the Green Room press tour
Most recently he'd appeared alongside fellow Trek actor Patrick Stewart in this year's horror thriller Green Room, which I had the chance to interview him about just this past April. In all my time on this blog, this is the first time doing an "in memoriam" on someone I'd actually interacted with, which makes this feel more acutely personal than ever before. We only talked for fifteen or so minutes, but he struck me as very thoughtful and introspective. It was clear he took his craft more seriously than himself. He was a good actor, a good guy, and at age 27 there's no reason to think he wouldn't have had a long and fruitful career stretching well into the future. Just a sad, sad story.

WPP CEO to deliver NATPE keynote
Martin Sorrell will speak at convention in MiamiAdvertisng conglom WPP's CEO Martin Sorrell will deliver the keynote address at the upcoming NATPE convention January in Miami. Already 60% of exhibition suites have been spoken for at the Fontainebleu Hotel -- much earlier than usual, per organizers.
After several years in Vegas the trade show is decamping to Miami from Jan. 24 to 26 in hopes of luring more Latin TV buyers as well as more robust East Coast and European contingents.
"At a time of rapid change, Martin's comments about how to adapt to a new business environment should be of significant interest to attendees," said NATPE CEO Rick Feldman.

About the latest Microsoft Advertisings
A must read on Seth's Blog:
If you spend more than a quarter of a billion dollars on an ad campaign for a tech company, people will talk about it. If you give Jerry Seinfeld, the most famous comedian ever, $10 million to be in a few of the commercials you do, people will talk about it even more.
Microsoft has fallen into a trap that befalls many large companies in search of cred, buzz or respect. They've decided to buy some via advertising.

First post in Leopard
Finally had the time to upgrade my Macbook to Leopard. The fun part is, for some unexpected reasons, I've installed it from a special partition on my iPod 2G with the Firewire Boot. Groovie. As I've expected, I'm using Spaces a lot. Stacks also turned very handy to me. Time to buy lot's of storage for Time Machine. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
RedHat buys Qumranet (KVM)
After dropping the support of Xen for RHEL (well, not really, they will still support it, but not as passionate as it was in the past), RedHat buys Qumranet (KVM) and becomes a new player on the virtualization market, specially with Virtual Desktops (watch SPICE). As a sidenote, I'm a very big fan of KVM. And RedHat also. KVM is also part of the stock kernel since 2.6.20 (as a module). If there were some doubts about the future of KVM, well, think again.
A bad day is always a bad day when you're editing a wiki page, your macbook freezes, you realize that you lost more than 1 hour of work (no auto-save the preview on the mediawiki) and you end up doing grep and strings on /private/var/vm/sleepimage after successfully put the goddamn mac on sleep just before a hard reboot. Another way was to try to recover some data out of the SQLite db cache of Safari. Gosh.
